Ermagersh. I had Tuesday off work for a family funeral (anticipated, though still sad), and spent all day yesterday thinking it was Thursday for reasons undiscernible. Further compounding my confusion is that it’s spring break here in Aus next week for two weeks, and there’s a long weekend for the non-school folk in the middle, […]

Phew. Okay. The blog still exists. The power still works. Water hasn’t gone mouldy in the sink. Good good. In other words, HI HOW ARE YOU LONG TIME NO POST?!?!?! The last month has been kind of… tumultuous, and keeping my head on straight has taken pretty much all of my energy. However, things seem

I’ve been hoarding toilet rolls for a bit with the thought of letting my kids do some craft with them – notionally during the shut down but we are out of shutdown now here so then I just didn’t have a specific plan in mind idek? Anyway, pulled them out last weekend and finally did

Waah, waaah, the internet is picking on me. Which is to say, a bunch of really smart people have offered really smart advice to whomever crosses their feeds generally, and it’s been so specific to the problems I’ve been having with writing lately that not only do I Feel Seen, I’m at the “I came

I’m so, so excited. Last night, I got the first glimpse of the Inkprint Press Fan Kit boxes, and oh. my. goodness. They are SO beautiful. If just three more people sign up for these boxes, then the exclusive black hardcovers of A Fox Of Storms And Starlight that come in them will have dust

Schools essentially closed to all but necessary students on Tuesday. Wednesday afternoon my school announced that staff could (and should) work from home unless rostered on for supervision. So today was my first day trying to sort out what this all-four-of-us-at-home-all-day thing looks like. My husband has a desk downstairs in the main living/kitchen area.
Support firefighters, win books! (Plus a sneaky title/cover reveal from me 😉 ) As most of you will know, the last month+ has seen bushfires raging right around Australia in an unprecedented fire-season event. I am extremely fortunate that I have not been personally impacted, except for the cancellation of some events. My mum was

I’ll be honest, the only thing I’ve made in the last week is edits to books, words for books, school resources, decisions, and memories. I’d share the memories with you, but they’re on my husband’s phone because mine keeps either a) complaining it’s too full for more photos or b) corrupting the photos I do

Or, a post in which I persist in typing ‘hollidays’ >.< So anyway, it’s spring break now in Australia-land, not that anyone in Australia land calls it that, but woo hoo! Two full, glorious weeks in which I do not have to attend my place of employ! (I’m not going to say ‘in which I
